I never tried release (8), maybe i will install my soekris box again and do some testing. I have an installation on a laptop with source, i patched everything and builded everything on it. And i have the soekris box, where i mount src and obj with nfs. Then i did only a make install, worked without problems. Next time i will try everything without installing compXX.tgz on the cf card, with mounting the dir with the stuff i need for compiling ... make ... If someone thinks that is a good idea or that it is total waste of time, please let me know. I am a little paranoid about this things, i always think i missed some special or really important points. > No didnt miss it. Just wanted to keep the costs as low as possible.

Hmm 512 mb or 1 gb are not this expensive, in Germany, between 30 and 60 euro, sorry i do not know much this is in dollars. Maybe you can get them much cheaper on ebay. By the way i think getting an adapter from ide to cf is a very good thing, if you want to do installs on cf cards more then once or twice a year. ;) I tried it with usb cardreaders and it took about 2 minutes to know that they are crap. I had some hours in trying, screaming and trying it again to get it on my cf card, pc hardware is very ... lets say ... special in some cases. With the adapter it is like installing on a harddisk, very clean, fast and stable. Just some thoughts. -- gruesse joerg "joerch" buechner -- "Kaum macht mans richtig, schon funktionierts!"
